Hello,

 

My name is Leslie Short and I am an intern at the Office of the Mayor,
NYC and we are currently working on a health literacy and language
access project.  We are trying to build partnerships throughout the city
specifically with facilities and organizations that work with ABE and
ESOL students.  One of our objectives is to locate materials that are
already in existence, gather what is available and use it to create a
type of lesson catalogue that we can have on hand to refer back to.  We
are also trying to understand how to evaluate lesson plans to determine
what makes them good or bad.  I have been searching the internet and
trying to find, as well as become familiar with, curriculum, lesson
plans and other resources that are out there.  I am wondering if anyone
has curricula or lesson plans they would be willing to share or
suggestions of good websites where I could access such information.
Also, ideas or documents that discuss evaluating lesson plans would be
helpful.

 

Thank you,

Leslie Short

Office Of The Mayor, NYC
